Spooky Spider Dip

I’m not a huge Halloween fan.

I don’t enjoy scary movies, creepy costumes, or being in a cemetery at night. But I do love food, so any excuse to get together and eat is alright with me!

Seven layer dips have been around forever.

This deconstructed taco dip is perfect for all you Halloween ghouls and ghosts. Why not try it for a fun after school snack or Sunday appetizer while watching your favorite sports game?

What’s in a Seven Layer Dip?

7 layer dips can vary in ingredients, but I think of it having all the goodies a delicious taco would have in it. This one of mine has refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, taco seasoning, tomatoes, green onions, olives, and shredded cheese.

How Long Does 7 Layer Dip Last In Fridge?

Seven layer dip lasts about 3 to 4 days in the fridge. The longer it is stored, the more the layers will bleed together and it can get a bit watery. You can just drain it off, but in my experience, this dip won’t last that long. After the first 24 hours, it may not look pretty, but I can assure you it will still taste great!

Spooky Spider Dip

Seven layers of taco deliciousness just aren’t enough! With guacamole, refried beans, cheese, and even a sour cream spider’s web, this is the perfect Halloween snack!
